The Cat in The Mist

The Cat in The Mist

The evening sky’s darken, falling slowly to the ground,

Soft mist is filling the air with a whispering sound.

A dim light from a lantern exposes something down below,

It’s a sleek black cat with a shiny coat moving very slow.

I’ve never seen the like of it, a smooth sophisticated stroll,

Gazing upon him I question myself , is he’s tired hungry or cold

I watch this silent creature move down the cool wet street,

I wonder if there is a home, a someone waiting for him to greet. 

Perhaps he lives in the city with a  pack of other cats,

Or possibly  he’s a loner and stays near the railroad tracts.

If I knew for certain that this little guy lived all alone,

There would be no hesitation for me to pick him up and take him home.
